*DON'T BUY WERNER LADDERS!*
Question:
quoting: >*snip copyright infringement*
Wow. Some company wants to reduce overhead, so they’re going to make their stuff oversees. The price of the ladders may or may not be reduced. To put it streight: Their profit margins are tight as it is, so by making ladders oversees, they can cut costs. If they continued to make them in the USA, then they could go bankrupt, then we’ll have no ladders. The other thing that they could do is down size. But Keep downsizeing, and the company will eventually disappear, along with their ladders.

How many union men and how long does it take to make a ladder? Who gives a shit? You got a problem with that? (This is a joke. Insert your favorite union and task.) Steve

No, the U.S. is moving away from being a productive society. Jobs are going overseas and not being replaced by anything at all. Adam Smith was a moron. People are not pigs or cotton. When labor is valued as a commodity, humanity soon becomes dirt cheap, and expendible. I’m sure Adam Smith wouldn’t mind legalizing murder if the meat can be sold for a profit.
